Coconut oil 2 weeks after FUE hair transplant. Damages?

Hello all! New year.

Almost 1 month ago (26th day today) I had my first hair transplant for 3200 grafts.

From the 14th day after the hair transplant, I applied a spoon of coconut oil 5 days out of 7 (until the 21st day) in the non-transplanted area.
In 2 days of those 7, I applied a bit in the transplanted area as well.
After application, the transplanted area turned red and itched. Most days the itch and pain went away as soon as I applied minoxidil. 5 pimples appeared on different days.

Only on the 21st day (7 days after) I connected the coconut oil wasn't great after the hair transplant.
After I stopped on the 21st day the area was normal again.

I was very worried. I sent the pictures to the surgeon, who told me I had seborrheic dermatitis, and not to worry. She suggested me a shampoo to use.

Do you think I can have done some damage? What are the risks for the follicles?

Thanks!

P.S. 1st picture is after 9 days (before coconut oil). Second is 2 hours after application (20th day). The third is the last day I applied it (21st day). The fourth one is one day after stopping coconut oil (22nd day). The last one is today (26th day)

Thank you!
